Home Construction

 The most important part of our mission is the construction of new homes for people in need. After the difficult task of selecting a partnering family, the affiliate and the partnering family go about the task of selecting a floor plan that fits the needs of the family and is affordable. After that, the family and the building team will begin constructing the new home.  The purpose of involving the family is to allow them to be part of decision-making situations, giving them a knowledge of building and repair issues that may occur later.
